Yep......after a quick cup of my very dark and rich French Roast, I filled the travel cup and we were soon heading north to the city. Mission: To try to complete, as much as possible, the things we need to purchase and exchange for the kitchen.
First stop was at the company where we purchased/ordered our cabinets: Modern Kitchens and Baths with stores and offices on S. Kingshighway and on W. Manchester. I discovered a rough patch of unfinished wood on one of our cabinet doors, so I detached the door and took it with me this morning. The sales clerk that we have been working with for several months was really great at taking care of the paperwork to get a new door for the upper cabinets. Then we inquired about the two doors that are having glass inserts put into the front of the doors, as well as glass shelves for the two cabinets........but, they are not yet completed. I needed some more "filler" for a 2" x 24" inch area where our over the fridge cabs. do not quite meet with the wall, so that was ordered. All in all.....another VERY pleasant experience in working with this company!!!!!! Check them out if you are in the market for new kitchens or baths!!!!
Then it was out to West Manchester to EXPO to get various sizes of door and drawer pulls.......the brushed steel bars which are straight and round......these are very popular rightnow and we love the look of this the clean lines that they give to the cabinets. Not knowing exactly which size we want on the doors/drawers, we purchased one of each size.....and then will return the sizes we don't want and purchase enough to take care of each door and drawer. WOW.....this is going to be an EXPENSIVE purchase.......especially with ALL of the doors/drawers that we have in the kitchen!!!!! UGH!!!!!
For all of you STL area readers......if you haven't already, go visit EXPO, a Home Depot store that is full.....FULL of upgrades on all home appliances, cabinets, decor, etc., etc., etc. It is a GREAT store for ideas.....and for purchasing items which we have not really found in any other store in the city. Don't get me wrong.....it is not cheap......but you find some incredible things there, not to include the wonderful ideas that you can get there........visions for your new projects!!!!!!!
We had a late lunch at Red Lobster.........the best time to eat there. The prices are so great on the lunch menu.....and there is more than enough food served even with the good prices. We each had a dozen fried shrimp, huge salad, hot garlic/cheese biscuits, baked potato, and coffee/iced tea.....all for $20! Great buy......great lunch!!!
Several other stops kept us from getting home before dark.....arriving back in F'Town at 8:30 this evening. And.....in the morning, I'm back on the road to STL.....to attend a Rally for Claire McCaskill and also hear Barack Obama who will be there in support of Claire!! Should be great!!! And soooooo......it is a St Louis weekend, while living in the boonies of S.E. Missouri, but nevertheless.........
Life is Great.....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
